  1. Good night all
  2. Yeah good night everyone, it’s been a fun one.
  3. The show was really good. Has the potential to be absolutely epic. Most things worked great. Some didn’t. Too tired to really go into full detail right now. But to me, this was a different band than I saw on TJT. Bono was in full bono mode and it was great. I was so excited hearing Ekectric co. They nailed it. More details tmrw. 7/10
  4. Biggest surprise: how incredibly strong LOH was. With everyone’s phone lights shining. It was my biggest turnaround moment. I did not like it from videos but being there it just works

    Biggest letdown: desire. Weak version. Too much talking. The cheesy way bono introduces it.

    Needs to go: the ocean - cedarwood.
    I’m a huge SOI fan but this section is a huge dud. The casuals don’t know it and the diehards are over it. And is that even the ocean? Seriously.

    Encore is just as weak as I expected. It’s lacking one or two big songs. Maybe have Love is Bigger build to the point of the house lights coming on then rip into out of control with all the lights on? I dunno. It just needs something.

    Gloria, ABOY, RFD,Little Things
    All four need to be permanently worked in somewhere. Immediately.

    Acrobat is just absolutely awesome. It’s just as dark as it should be. Edge solo left me speechless. It’s just so good.

    Best thing is awful.

    SATS -COBL is much better in person than on paper. It’s a great section of the show and a sufficient way to end the main set. As most said GOOYOW and AS are waayyy better live.


    I type some more random thoughts tmrw. Goodnight! Hope everyone had fun

    Apart from loving acoustic The Best Thing and enjoying 13 as a closer, I agree with everything else you said based on my experience in Chicago. Show could still definitely be improved on the ways you mentioned but glad you enjoyed! Fun reading your thoughts.
  6. Any mention of Bourdain tonight?

    This is a literally brilliant idea
  9. Nice to see a new song for the first time in a month but a shame it now means we are less likely to see Red Flag Day, Gloria and All Because of You.
    They need to work out how to have songs rotating in a few different places. I Will Follow could rotate to at least make it 2 slots where you don't know what you are getting.
  10. Is the "Acrobat" as good as the "Exit" performance from last year?
  11. Electric Co was fierce. I thought they cranked it up a notch. The crowd helped.
